Germany is expected to catch up in thecompetition with the top global FinTech regions
The FinTech market is extremely dynamic and demands regions to be pro-active and drive development of theFinTech ecosystem in order to maintain and improve existing market positions
The established Anglo-Saxon FinTech regions are clearly leading compared to their Asian and European competitors
The scenarios illustrate that the UK is at risk of losing its global lead to China, New York and California in the case of a more passiveapproach towards FinTech policy
Germany is among the top 8 global FinTech regions in the field of the followers, but is expected to catch up based on its economicstrengths and market potential towards the leading regions
